I wonder who said that?

Guess what? I've NEVER been to a black tie event!!! My first one is this Saturday evening after the Ligonier Highland Games. I'll be dressed to the "nines," but it will be subdued...no fly plaid, no ghilies, but I will have a PC jacket and those awesome Argyll toped hose from Redshanks. Oh, and how could I forget my tank by Wally Catanach.

As for a white tie event, I'll probably go to one of those when pigs fly!

Are you a farmer? What do you wear after six?

My Iowa farmer grandfather wore formal rig for lodge functions.

Fly plaids look great, but that means even more time getting dressed for your function - and if that function involves any dancing - then you want to take the jacket (and plaid) off at some point, unless you want to die of heat exhaustion.

And patterned hose look damned good - and are rare enough to mark you out as a real individual. Go for them.
